Line 40:
* [[She Is All Grown Up|He is All Grown Up]]: A subtler take in that it's more about his emotional than physical growth.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Hey, it's [[Kingdom Hearts|Sora]] and [[Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle|Syaoran]]! [[Sarcasm Mode|You can tell by the hair]].
** To add more brunets into the mix, in the dub he's also [[Ben 10: Alien Force (Animation)|the teenage Ben Tennyson]] and [[Code Geass|Suzaku]].
* [[I Just Want to Be Normal]]: If only it wasn't for this crazy quarterback shooting his guns all over the place. He ''does'' eventually learn to enjoy football, however.
* [[Just a Kid]]: The reason why Mamori doesn't let him join the team, and why she can't imagine Eyeshield 21's true identity.
Line 64:
----
 
* [[All Girls Want Bad Boys]]: Certainly has his share of lady fans out-universe and [[Shipper Onon Deck|Suzuna most definitely thinks that Mamori's one]].
* [[Anti-Hero]]: Hoooo boy... he would be an [[Evil Overlord]] in any other story.
* [[Attack! Attack! Attack!]]: His philosophy for everything.
Line 95:
* [[Improbable Aiming Skills]]
* [[Intelligence Equals Isolation]]: Well, there are [[Trigger Happy|several]] [[Heroic Sociopath|reasons]] why people would steer clear of him for the most part, but the fact that he'd rather hustle money and write football strategies than actively seek friends is pretty telling.
* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]: He doesn't show it often, but it's there. {{spoiler|It's also been stated after the last chapter that he financially helps [[Worthy Rival|Kid]] start his own stunt company...probably not without ulterior motives of some sort...}}
* [[Know When to Fold'Em]]: Two varieties: in the early days, he packs up to go home once there's a zero percent chance of winning, later on he uses the tactical retreat to his advantage (and to piss off his opponent).
* [[The Leader]]: Of Deimon. Type I/IV cross.
Line 215:
* [[Bash Brothers]]: With Sena
* [[Berserk Button]]: He hates people making fun of his resemblance to a monkey.
* [[Catch Phrase to Thethe Max]]: [[Trope Namer]]
* [[Crippling Overspecialization]]: The reason he fails as a baseball player, but also the reason he succeeds as an American football player.
* [[Determinator]]: It actually works to his disadvantage at first, as he originally refused to quit baseball despite having ''far'' more potential as a football player.
* [[Heroic BSOD]]: See [[Ten -Minute Retirement]] below.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Since when was [[Inuyasha]] so into baseball and football? And wasn't [[Detective Conan|Shinichi]] more of a soccer person?
* [[Hot-Blooded]]
Line 227:
* [[Running Gag]]: His complete inability to throw.
* [[Shonen Hair]]
* [[Ten -Minute Retirement]]: After he learns that one of the receivers for the Alexanders is {{spoiler|Honjo's son}}.
* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: Bananas.
 
Line 278:
* [[Genius Bruiser]]: Juumonji has the highest grades on the team, after [[The Chessmaster|Hiruma]], [[The Smart Guy|Yukimitsu]] and Mamori.
* [[Hot-Blooded]]: Kuroki.
* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold|Jerks With Hearts Of Gold]]: They become this after some [[Character Development]].
* [[The Leader]]: Juumonji is the leader of the trio.
* [[Terrible Trio]]: With Juumonji as the central, more intimidating figure.
Line 304:
* [[Pint-Sized Powerhouse]]
* [[Stout Strength]]
* [[Ten -Minute Retirement]]: Feeling that his shortness makes him a liability to the team, he runs away from home before the game with the Poseidons.
* [[Translation: "Yes"]]: The translations of his Power-Speak can get pretty verbose.
* [[The Unintelligible]]
Line 356:
* [[Important Haircut]]: Although it's more like "important hairband".
* [[Jack of All Stats]]: Naturally, as a tight end.
* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]: Taki can off like a jackass, what with his colossal ego, but he's a remarkably nice guy under it all, and he certainly brings a lot of enthusiasm to the team.
* [[Let's Get Dangerous]]: {{spoiler|Midway through the Bando game.}}
* [[Small Name, Big Ego]]
Line 402:
Natsuhiko's considerably smarter younger sister. A petite, perky girl with a fondness for roller skates whose patience is constantly tried by her idiotic brother.
 
* [[A -Cup Angst]]
* [[The Cheerleader]]: Completely averted. She's quite nice, if rather snarky, and far from dumb.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Provides a lot of dry commentary during the sillier scenes.
Line 411:
* [[The Nicknamer]]
* [[Rollerblade Good]]
* [[Shipper Onon Deck]]: Patron saint of Hiruma/Mamori.
* [[Ship Tease]]: With Sena.
* [[Shorttank]]
Line 538:
Also known as the notorious "prison chain", Ikari is a [[Delinquent]] who tends to go [[Unstoppable Rage|completely berserk]] [[Hair-Trigger Temper|whenever anyone speaks badly of Oujou (or he thinks they did)]]. He's so out of control, his teammates have to tie him up with chains to prevent him from attacking people.
 
* [[Chained Byby Fashion]]
* [[Delinquent]]
* [[Dumb Muscle]]: Just as dumb as Ootawara.
Line 572:
* [[Sibling Team]]: With Agon.
* [[Straight Man]]
* [[Surrounded Byby Idiots]]: Well in the case of Shinryuuji, he was surrounded by perverts. At Enma, it seems like he's constantly on the verge of saying this.
* [[The Resenter]]: In middle school.
* [[Sibling Yin-Yang]]: He's the yin.
Line 587:
* [[Ambiguously Brown]]: Although anyone whose read or watched Eyeshield past the Taiyou match will know there's no point basing a character's ethnicity off their physical appearance, a lot of newcomers to the series assume Agon's black.
** Not to mention in the colored illustrations his skin color varies from being the same shade as everyone else's to being the token brown guy. The anime went with him being tan.
* [[A Lady Onon Each Arm]]: Every time he's shown on a date it's always with ''two'' girls.
* [[All Girls Want Bad Boys]]: He's very popular with women despite... everything about him.
* [[Aloof Big Brother]]: Inverted. His perfection gives his ''older'' brother a raging inferiority complex.
Line 624:
* [[Gold Digger]]: When asked what the most expensive thing he's ever bought was, he stated that his girlfriends buy him anything he wants.
** For example, his goggles alone cost $350.
* [[Hoist Byby His Own Petard]]: Ends up being beaten by the Devil Bats, a team he inadvertently created with his antics.
* [[Identical Twin ID Tag]]: Although he doesn't like to admit it, without his dreads and sunglasses he and Unsui are difficult to tell apart.
* [[I Have You Now, My Pretty]]: A mild example. During his first appearance, he quite bluntly tells Unsui that he wants to get into Mamori's pants (while leering at her through goggles, no less). During his second appearance he's a bit too touchy when hitting on Mamori and ''shoved'' her to the ground when she rejected his advances.
Line 636:
* [[Mutant]]: Pretty much. His reaction time is explicitly stated to be inhuman.
* [[One-Man Army]]: Fast enough and strong enough to play any position and with his ridiculous reaction time and high intelligence he can both read opposing plays at lightening speed and cover the entire field in time to halt them. He's a One Man [[Opposing Sports Team]].
* [[Only in It For Thethe Money]]: This is his motivation for entering the World Cup.
* [[Opposing Sports Team]] ([[One-Man Army|He can be it all on his own]].)
* [[Politically-Incorrect Villain]]: "What are you guys, a bunch of homos with a fat fetish?"
* [[Pretty Fly for Aa White Guy|Pretty Fly for a Japanese Guy]]: His dreadlocks, gold chain, and baggy clothes give him this appearance.
* [[Product Placement]]: Beginning in the Kantou tournament, sunglass aficionados will notice he starts wearing Oakley Juliet sports goggles with Ice Iridium lenses.
* [[Really Gets Around]]
Line 685:
 
* [[The Big Guy]]
* [[Bruiser Withwith a Soft Center]]: Rivals Kurita in sensitivity. He sheds [[Manly Tears]] when he realizes Agon's slowly becoming more of a team player. He later sheds [[Tender Tears]] when he realizes he can finally play football with Agon as a serious teammate, right before the Japan vs USA game. On the cover of volume 23 he's even shown sharing tears with Kurita.
* [[Covert Pervert]]: Is often torn between keeping up his [[Warrior Monk]] persona and being a normal, hormone-ridden teenager.
* [[Emotional Bruiser]]: Which evidently annoys Agon.
Line 695:
Position: Line (Gojyo, Goku, and Hakkai) and Runningback (Sanzo)
 
As the name implies, four players in the Nagas who resemble the main characters of [[Journey to Thethe West]]. Mainly act as the [[Plucky Comic Relief]].
 
* [[All Men Are Perverts]]: This applies to all of Shinryuuji (other then Unsui).
Line 723:
 
* [[Big Brother Mentor]]: To Riku.
* [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"]] / [[Only Known Byby Their Nickname]] / [[The Trope Kid]]: He prefers to be referred to as Kid since he claims to have abandoned his real name. Also a reference to his proficiency with guns and his team's favorite play.
* [[Genre Blind]]: "Nothing good ever comes from [[Shonen|chasing your dreams."]] Although given {{spoiler|the instant he decided to chase his dreams, Gao broke his arm}}, he may be right...
* [[Genre Savvy]]: "Things tend to go bad when they start looking good." When you're in the world of ''Eyeshield 21,'' this is a fundamental law.
Line 772:
* [[The Big Guy]]
* [[Boisterous Bruiser]]: He happily throws Western Lariats at other linemen.
* [[Only Known Byby Their Nickname]]: There was an extra that revealed his actual first name, however... {{spoiler|It's "Baharou", which is pronounced identically to his nickname.}}
 
== Taiyou Sphinx ==
Line 781:
A ''very'' beautiful young man who prides himself on being rich, refined, and elegant.
 
* [[A Lady Onon Each Arm]]: Or rather a constant entourage of scantily clad groupies...
* [[Alpha Bitch]]: At first. He was introduced as seeming to be very elitist and bossy, blaming others for his shortcomings. Of course it's mostly just an act because he's insecure.
* [[Bishonen]]
Line 845:
* [[Plucky Girl|Plucky Boy]]
* [[The Pollyanna]]: Fortunately, this attitude pays off for him BIG TIME later in the series.
* [[Raised Byby Grandparents]]: Specifically, just his grandmother.
* [[Skilled but Naive]]: At first. While he's always been incredibly fast and agile, his lack of playing experience meant he didn't really know how to defend against opponents.
* [[Spirited Competitor]]: The reason he decided to go to Japan.
Line 901:
* [[Hard Work Hardly Works]]: The lesson he learned from his days in the NFL and one of the reasons he keeps Panther off the team.
* [[Heel Face Turn]]: After beating Deimon.
* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]: It's arguable whether you say he has a heart of gold (maybe bronze...), but he does become a great trainer to Panther out of respect for his skill and work ethic. But as a person, he's still a blow hard and a bit racist.
* [[Loophole Abuse]]: By renaming the team to the NASA Shuttles, he feels he technically lives up to the stipulation that the NASA Aliens wouldn't go back home.
* [[Pet the Dog]]: When he puts Panther in the game and becomes a good coach and mentor to him.
Line 908:
* [[Rich Bitch]]: His first appearance was him a on yacht bad mouthing the Japanese.
* [[Villainous BSOD]]: After discovering Panther had whethered his abuse because he was his biggest fan.
* [[Wearing a Flag Onon Your Head]]: He wears an American flag tie during the game with Deimon.
 
 
Line 1,101:
* [[Tall, Dark and Handsome]]: Subverted to hell and back. Don't be fooled by the expensive Italian suits and [[Affably Evil|suave demeanor]], at his core, Marco's a panicky dork (and an [[Manipulative Bastard|unpleasant guy to boot]]).
* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: Cola.
* [[Trial Byby Friendly Fire]]: Orders Gaou to go through Kisiragi to get to Hiruma.
* [[Unnecessary Roughness]]: Advocates it as part of his overall strategy.
* [[Villainous Valour]]: Marco's scared to death but keeps on playing (and risking his own neck) because winning is far more important to him.
Line 1,123:
* [[Defeat Means Friendship]]: Given his [[Blood Knight]] tendencies, this should surprise no one.
* [[Determinator]]: Against Mr. Don, where he demonstrates that one becomes [[The Juggernaut]] by starting out as this.
* [[The Dreaded]]: Everyone who isn't [[In Love Withwith Your Carnage|Kisiragi]] or [[Hero-Killer|Mr. Don]] is afraid of Gaou.
* [[Good Scars, Evil Scars]]: He has one on his forehead from a car he smashed. More "chaotic" than good/evil, though.
* [[Hero-Killer]]: Breaks Banba, Kid, Tetsuma, Riku, and Hiruma in rapid succession. Most the Kantou Arc is spent trying to find a way to put this bastard out of commission.
Line 1,157:
* [[Hidden Badass]]: Completely average or weaker than average in terms of his stats, but psychotically determined enough that it doesn't matter. Hiruma and Monta both lampshade this long before we see Kisiragi play, noting that he must have some sort of hidden talent.
* [[Ill Boy]]: If his constant fevers are any indicator.
* [[In Love Withwith Your Carnage]]: The source of his admiration for/attraction to Gaou.
* [[Kill Us Both]]: Lighter variant. He grabs Hiruma and tells Marco to order Gaou to go through both of them. Marco obliges.
* [[Lean and Mean]]: Rail skinny, and rather ill-looking to boot.
Line 1,197:
* [[The Stoic]]
* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]]: Incredibly pretty, but also incredibly intimidating.
* [[Token Good Teammate]]: To [[Manipulative Bastard|Marco]], [[Blood Knight|Gaou]], [[Dirty Coward|Tengu]], and [[In Love Withwith Your Carnage|Kisiragi]].
* [[When She Smiles]]: Finally cracks a smile after Marco's defeat and [[Heel Realisation]].
 
Line 1,498:
President of Jari Productions, and somewhat sleazy manager to Haruto Sakuraba. Originally depicted as just a money-grubbing social climber seeking to make a fortune off Sakuraba's good looks, he naturally flips out when Sakuraba quits being a model to focus on sports. However, he shows a softer side after he comes to accept Sakuraba's wishes.
 
* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]
* [[Kick the Dog]]: When he tries to throw out the sweatband Sakuraba got from a young fan.
* [[Pet the Dog]]: When he eventually accepts Sakuraba's desire to focus on football, and even starts cheering him on.
